"Refreshingly original, this debut by trans author Sanchez is a thoroughgoing delight that's not to be missed." - Booklist (starred review)
"Mind-bogglingly good. The narrative takes a smart, careful look at the intersection of identity and politics, and the fight in standing up for friends and ourselves, even against people that we love. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for Mark all the way. With everything that's happening in the world right now politically, this is a novel that every teen needs." - Kacen Callender, author of Felix Ever After
"Charming, stunning, and unapologetically queer." - Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best and The Ghosts We Keep
"Sanchez expertly portrays political drama, toxic masculinity and activism all in a character holding fiercely to his queer identity." - Shelf Awareness
"Heartwarming, inclusive, and intelligent. A recommended purchase for any library, especially those where books by Becky Albertalli and Benjamin Alire Sáenz are popular." - School Library Journal
